It's all over

It’s all over in Poland, where not even the introduction in the 87th minute of persistent pest Tim Cahill could pull Australia back into the game.

Germany won 3-2.

And it’s all over for us for today.

Joe Rimmer will be back with you tomorrow morning ... unless he’s melted.

I’m told it’s still hot out there.

Check back tomorrow for all the overnight transfer speculation/action.

No Can do

Emre Can won’t be running out for Germany against Australia tonight. The Germans have just made their third substitution - Sule on for Brandt.

It’s been a lively old Confederations Cup clash. Germany currently lead 3-2 with quarter of an hour to go.

Salah Update

You may have noticed James Pearce is back off a well earned holiday and has wasted no time in getting to the bottom of today’s Mo Salah rumours.

Some sites are reporting that Liverpool have booked a medical for the forward.

Boateng talks Klopp & LFC

I think he is a world class coach. He built a very good team at Dortmund. I think how he treats a player, how he motivates a player, is a very good coach. What I heard from my brother, he played under him. I have not had the chance to play under him.

Mohamed Salah on improving, his heroes and Playstation

Some snippets from Mohamed Salah on signing for Roma, where he needs to improve, his heroes and love of Playstation.

On improving: “I want to improve my shooting from outside the box, use my right foot more, use my head more and play with more speed.”

His heroes:

In football I had many players. Zidane was Zidane. Ronaldo, Francesco also who played before I was born! I think many players but I would choose these 3.

Favourite other sports: It’s not a sport but Playstation!”

Partners in crime

Liverpool might have to sign Edin Dzeko this summer, too!

13:36

The wait goes on..

Imagine what it’s like trying to report the news...

I can’t wait for Salah to be done so we can move on to talking about something - or most likely someone - different.

Roma set to sign Nice midfielder

Another large sum for Roma to spend..

They may will need to balance the books.

12:38

Balotelli set for Nice stay

Mario Balotelli looks set to sign a contract extension with Nice.

There had been reports that the former Liverpool striker was set to move on this summer after scoring 15 goals for the French club last season.

I think it’s a good decision for Mario to stay put. He seems to have enjoyed himself there last season.

12:12

Klopp throws down gauntlet

James Pearce is back.

And he has words from Jurgen Klopp.

Salah signing for Liverpool a 'possibility' - but that's it

Another interesting report on the Mohamed Salah situation, this time from Sports Witness.

They claim that talks are ongoing, but not as advanced as some may think.

In fact, they say that Salah to Liverpool is a ‘possiblity’, but that’s it for now, adding that the deal could ‘take a while longer’ because Roma are holding out for a big fee.

02-03 - the top goals

That strike from Gerrard against Charlton... I remember thinking that Gerrard was maturing into one of the very best that year.

Danny Murphy scored some special goals, too.

11:08

Speed & stats impress for Salah

An exceptional season from the Egyptian. He won’t find it easy in the Premier League, but if he can get anywhere near that he will be a success..

Ward-Prowse expresses Gerrard admiration

Another one of their stars expressing admiration for a Liverpool legend?

But that’s what James Ward Prowse has done, picking out Steven Gerrard as a role model as he looks to captain England U21s to victory against Slovakia,

Asked about the perfect captain’s display, he told the Daily Mail: “‘Steven Gerrard in the Champions League final.

That was the great one. It typifies everything that a midfielder should be: a box-to-box player who can defend and get forward and score goals. He set the tempo and was the leader on and off the pitch.

Aurelio pays tribute to Liverpool's Brazil trio

Aurelio spoke in detail about Philippe Coutinho, Roberto Firmino and Lucas Leiva, paying tribute to the trio for their excellent form at Anfield this season.

On Coutinho: “After watching him last season, it’s difficult to see what else he can improve on – he scored goals from free-kicks, he scored goals from close to the goal, from outside the box.

“We see him improving every season. I’m keen to see what else he’s capable of doing. Obviously you cannot predict what he’s going to do, he surprises you every time. It’s amazing to watch him play.”

On Firmino: “He can do amazing things with the ball; some of the dribbles he did last season, nobody would have expected to be done, and some goals.

He is not only a scorer but he also creates chances for his teammates. Coutinho and Firmino know each other well. From what I could watch last season, they understand very well what the coach asks of them.

On Lucas: “No-one in Liverpool could talk badly of him; he is professional, he has character in games, he is always fit to play games, he has played in a lot of positions to help the team.

“It’s not easy to be at the same club for that amount of time, especially not being an English player. He has all the compliments for that achievement.”

On this day..

On this day in 2013, Andy Carroll left Liverpool on a permanent deal.

The big striker was, and still is, Liverpool’s record signing at £35m - but I wouldn’t expect that record to remain much longer...

Mbappe only wants Real Madrid move - report

It may have always felt like pure fantasy - but Liverpool’s hopes of signing Monaco wonderkid Kylian Mbappe could be at an end.

The Reds were, like many clubs across Europe, keen admirers of the 18-year-old Frenchman after his glittering displays last season.

It would have taken a club - or even world - record deal to prise Mbappe from Monaco, but according to Marca, he only wants to join Real Madrid this summer.

The Spanish giants are long said to have lead the race for Mbappe, and it’s reported that they are ready to make him their latest ‘Galactico’ this summer.
